So close waa the finish, however, that many thought Mad Hatter waa the winner, and few knew definitely until the numbers went up. Then came A few scattered hisses from backers or admirers of the Rancocas horse, who declared that their choice had got his nose over the line first. At an angle, it did look as if the vet- eran had done the trick again, but directly on the line it could be seen that Yellow Hand had won by a hair.
